The man who spent years going after Trump, leaking intelligence, and pushing political witch hunts is suddenly the one begging for protection. Reports say he pleaded with Joe Biden for a pardon, and Trump is calling for his resignation, even hinting at treason charges. With Kash Patel now leading the FBI and promising real investigations, Schiff’s world is collapsing fast. Is this the moment he finally faces justice? https://youtu.be/1iSYj4QlEak?si=bjmgOmgCemXWiSjr

MemberFebruary 28, 2025 at 10:49 pm in reply to: GCA Forums Daily Headline News for Friday February 28, 2025Standard and Poor Credit Rating Companies have downgraded the city of Chicago Bond Rating to a near Junk Bond Credit Rating.
Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson is seeking to borrow $830 million in bonds just one day after the city’s credit rating was downgraded to two steps above junk status by Standard & Poor’s. Johnson, a former teacher and staunch progressive, claims the funds are for infrastructure and capital improvements, but broad language in the spending ordinance raises concerns that it could be used to benefit his allies in the Chicago Teachers Union. Chicago’s financial crisis stems from a nearly $1 billion budget deficit, exacerbated by costly spending on illegal immigration and progressive fiscal mismanagement. Despite warnings from financial experts and officials, Johnson insists the downgrade does not accurately reflect the city’s financial outlook. However, credit downgrades make borrowing costlier for taxpayers, further straining the city’s economic stability. Critics argue this is another example of reckless liberal governance leading a major city toward financial ruin. Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson is literally a complete idiot.
Chicago’s Credit Rating Downgraded as Mayor Seeks to Borrow $830 Million through Bonds
Chicago’s already crippling debt grew worse this week as The Standard and Poor’s lowered the city’s bond rating to just two levels above junk. This happened simultaneously with Mayor Brandon Johnson’s announcement of a plan to issue $830 million in bonds to support pro-infrastructure and government capital spending. Although, some critics still remain over the broad spending ordinance and are questioning whether funds can be used for politically favorable entities, including The Chicago Teachers Union.
Primary contributors of credit downgrade.
📉 Chicago is facing close to a billion dollar deficit which does little to help the already worsening public sentiment towards its finances.
📉 A sharp rise in social programs and expenditure to assist migrants has also increased the financial burden on Chicago.
📉 The lower the credit rating, the higher the interest Chicago has to pay out in bonds. This leads to paying more taxes.
The mayor’s reaction and political clash.
Brandon Johnson shrugged off the wide Chicago Credit downgrade, meeting it with the response that he saw the projection failing to represent the financial condition of the city. On the other hand, economic experts warn that equity firms easing scrutiny on Chicago would push bond prices lower and funding would become more expensive.
Some critics believe that Johnson approved spending policies that simplified this crisis, while his supporters note that investing in infrastructure is critical for the future of the city.
Potential Consequence On The Residents of Chicago
🏠 Potential tax increases or city service reductions might occur as Chicago attempts to cover its deficit.
🏛 A drop in confidence from investors could negatively impact economic growth and the real estate market.
💵 Long-term default risk along with high borrowing costs could be created.

Welcome to Kyo Monkey Channel! 💖 In this video, Kyo – a cute little monkey, accidentally caused a funny accident when she spilled a bottle of mineral water, creating a large “puddle” on the table. She struggled to use a tissue to wipe it up, but the more she wiped, the more the water spread, making Kyo even more embarrassed. Not giving up, Kyo quickly ran to get a tray to “hide” the incident. However, when her father found out, he gently told Kyo that next time she had an accident, she should call him for help. Kyo’s adorable and funny moments will definitely make you laugh 😃 😀 😄

Two of the dumbest politicians in this planet. Fatter one is JB PRITZKER, the 5 ft. 5 inch 500 Pounder who never had a job in his entire obese life and the 3rd grade school teacher who got his votes miscounted and got elected mayor of Chicago. Both have signed their death wishes and will never get reelected.

JB PRITZKER tuned down a lot with Illinois State Police and local and county law enforcement agencies helping US Border and ICE Agents locking up illegal immigrants. The scene at Little Village, 26th Street and California was very quiet. Illegal migrants were hiding in their homes scared of Immigration and Custom Enforcement agents locking them up.
